Jalen Brunson has successfully made an impressive 3.2 three-pointers per game this year, quite a bit more than his 2.0 mark last year.Among all players in the league, Jalen Brunson slots into the 89th percentile for playing time, registering a whopping 33.6 minutes per game playing at home this year.The Knicks are expected to see a rise in plays in this contest from sharing the court with the 6th-most up-tempo tempo home offense in the NBA this year (the Hornets).The Knicks check in as the 2nd-best offensive rebounding offense in the NBA while playing away from home this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore create added opportunities for scoring and assists).This year when they are on the road, opposing teams have captured 8.5 offensive rebounds per game (3rd-lowest in the NBA) vs. the Charlotte Hornets (losing possessions that could otherwise lead to bonus chances for offense).
